I think that Chapter-specific is the intentional way they're going with HQ dreads, to be honest. They were always a bit of a niche, now doubly so that GW have had a chance to clear out all of the wonky stuff with the new edition.

There are still a couple of options available in the newest Imperial Armour Compendium. Carab Culln the Risen (Red Scorpions) was a HQ choice and I don't envision that changing any time soon - his stats were pretty damn scary too, though from what I've read on the 'net you're probably better off just claiming him to be an Ultramarines Successor. Hecaton Aiakos is still there too, although in his old rules yo couldn't take him as your Warlord so that might not be something you can work around.

More will be seen when IA comes out, most likely, but it's still doable.
